As you can see, the wax paper technique worked well, and I love the shot of hubby and Mr2 (YES...despite the shoulder length hair that IS a MR under there ;-). This page falls down though with the colour of the sticker letters I have used. The orange is completely lost on the striped ribbon...you can hardly read what it says. I am contemplating lifting them off and using black instead...but am fretting over the waste of lettering that will be! What do you think...how would you fix it?

One of the reasons I like blogging, apart from the social networking and sharing of ideas, is that I really like pretty pictures, and one of my blog-goals is to be a place of pretty pictures...to this end, I give you...MORE NAUGHTY FOOD PICTURES!

Before you leave any comments about my cooking, I thought it fair that you know that these cupcakes are waaaaay undercooked and taste like egg and flour! Also, because I am no MasterChef I manged to curdle the butter/sugar/egg mix while I was making them.

I had to go online and see what causes the batter to curdle like that and I came up with this list:1/ ingredients not at room temperature2/ insufficient creaming of the butter and sugar3/ adding the eggs too quicklyI am guilty of all three, so no wonder my batter looked icky by the time I was finished. I was looking around for Miss Muffet to come eat her curds and whey! But the photo looks pretty...so that's why its here. I like to show you the pretty stuff, and I try not to think about the mistakes :-).

Hey Sam, I love this! the background looks FAB! and I actually like the colour of the lettering. No comment about cooking as I make my husband do all the baking/cooking (when I can get away with it LOL!), that's how bad a cook I am he!he!

Hiya Sam - I think if you put black letters on it will look too heavy! I like the orange letters - they add a nice touch of colour - a bit like sand with the waves and whitecaps in the background! The photo is gorgeous too!The cupcakes look great - you shouldn't have told us they weren't cooked properly - we would all have been wishing we were there to share - LOL!xXx
